Sometimes I live and work on Luxury Mega Yachts, sometimes I get dirty and salty working on Schooners. Spent last few years flip flopping between Key West, St. Thomas, Australia and New England. This blog is just my random ramblings and everyday occurrences. Island life at it's best...and worst!

I am about to head over to the Rover to see if we have a sunset sail tonight as we didn't yesterday due to the cold weather. It's a bit colder today so I fear the worst. I have all my crew agents on the case again for me. Just thinking I might not be able to stay here this time around with no savings and no real job. Everyone says I should stick it out for a few more weeks because season is about to start full swing and I will find something. I am just stressing out. I could try to find a bartending gig. Actually I need to just get my drug test up to date with the maritime consortium here and I can work 4 or 5 days on Rover as "real" crew. Capt. Chris asked me if I needed time to study for my drug test, I just laughed and said no. He said he was just making sure. Lot's of folks on this island do need time to study for theirs but not me. My drug of choice is beer. Oh, and this new liquor called Firefly.... OMG. It is - get this- Sweet Tea flavored Vodka....O....M......G!!!!!!IT TASTES JUST LIKE SWEET TEA! YOU CAN DRINK A GLASS OF THIS STUFF STRAIGHT ON ICE AND BY THE TIME YOU ARE FINISHED YOU HAVE A SOUTHERN ACCENT EVEN IF YOU AREN'T FROM THE SOUTH!!!!Everyone who was with me the first time I tried it said "Oh! There's that Texan accent! We knew you were hiding it somewhere!" Apparently I don't have a thick accent unless I have been drinking.

Ok. Gotta bundle up and head out into the frozen tundra.... 60 degrees with the wind blowing 30 knots off the water really is cold people.

Hello out there! I am an outgoing, adventurous chick who loves to live and work on the water. Wether it be fishing, snorkeling, sailing or anything in between you can bet I've been on board. When I am land based I prefer to be in the Virgin Islands or Key West, bartending and dreaming of my future Tiny-House out in West Texas. I am a Texas girl, I love to play my guitar, go out with my friends, paddle board and secretly put together floor plans and designs for my future homes. Welcome to the show!!!
